"Blessed be the doctor and blessed be the nurse,
Blessed be the coachman who put me in the hearse,
Blessed be the blessing, and blessed be the curse."
He goes to bed bereft and berated and rests his head
In the hands of the overrated.
Sweating bullets in the faculty lounge
Sensing treason they're not waiting around
On the first bus out of town they're playing movies that we've already seen.
He jewelry advances as the gums recede
The devil goes out dancing
On the angels' perceived needs
Please go easy on me.

Cops walkie-talkie squalks, 
"Breaker-breaker we've got to take her down to the station.
She says that that broker broke her."
Read the text at the ticker tape parade.
The subtext is that someone's getting paid off.
Check the checks at the ticker tape parade.
Pay stubs of the people who've been laid off.

Insurance can't cover what the world's exposed
Open nerves. 
Touching toes
To stretch.
The A.C. made us retch.
Can you conceive of working for the emperor’s new clothes.
